Giants Hire Dennard Wilson as DC, Chris Horton as Special Teams Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach

The moves signal Harbaugh importing his Ravens blueprint to New York.

Overview

  • The Giants selected former Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson to lead their defense, according to multiple reports including ESPN.
  • Chris Horton will run special teams with an assistant head coach title after Baltimore allowed his departure once Jesse Minter was hired as head coach.
  • Wilson previously coached Ravens defensive backs in 2023 before coordinating Tennessee’s defense the past two seasons, which peaked at No. 2 in yards allowed in 2024.
  • Horton has overseen Baltimore’s special teams since 2019 following five years as assistant, guiding units that frequently ranked among the league’s best.
  • These are Harbaugh’s first coordinator hires with the Giants, and the offensive coordinator search remains active with interest reported in candidates such as Todd Monken.
